i did 21 spots in a (food safe) 5gallon bucket painted black,, pretty sure i used a 1.5" hole saw and made my own 'neoprene pucks' out of 1" styrofoam cut in to circles ... i used a pill bottle turned upside down to trace the circles ... although i've just been rooting cuttings in a cup of coco lately

Yep, you've pretty much got it lol. Cloning is black magic, what works in one garden doesn't work in the next.

I think the principles are: moist (not wet) and oxygenated medium, humidity over 80% or so to account for inability to transpirate, and relatively higher temps. From there its just a matter of dialing things in

I know there are dozens of cloning techniques out there and from experience I know they work great. Some of them can get pretty complicated for beginners so Ive made a pictorial of my technique, which is very simple and reliable for those wanting to s...

Not fully read through this thread read about air clones and dwc fancy stuff but I genuinely just chop the cut to where I’m happy with it, dip it in some clonex root hormone gel then some reggae roots powder. I shove it into a small pot of plain coco presoaked in PHed water.

Under the HPS and within 3-5 days you’ve got plenty of roots there no need for building DWC systems or aero cloners simple works and has for a long while.

Not saying to not make one of these better systems if they truly are better but I have no issues but just my two cents on things

Haha was about to throw an edit on the post when I say under a HPS I mean like 4-5 foot below the HPS so ya don’t fry them up but it works perfectly fine and they need to go into a prop unless you have a humidifier but then when they start shooting up for the light adjust height but 100% success rate I’ve not had a baby die on me in a long while

"Best" is a pretty subjective term, I do know there are a million ways to skin a cat as the saying goes....I was once challenged to be more "ghetto" in my growing...I've found sterility/humidity are the only things that matter...so with absolute sterility in mind this is what I used to clone..

Yep that's a plastic takeout bag, wiped the inside out with alchy, cut my clone off the plant (straight cut, scissors dipped in alchy) dip cutting into alcy, then cram in the dirt...then right into this bag, sprayed the inside with water, stick the solo in and let it do it's thing, sprayed it down a few times and aired out...took about 11 days for me to keep it out of the bag and it being self sustained... in the gheeeeeeeeeto

Haha even more ghetto, this isn’t my method but sharing is caring take a plastic water bottle or any other plastic bottle that is clean. Make a cut in it to make it tall enough to hold some water about the size of a rockwool cube(which will be going in there), next put the pre soaked rockwool cube in the bottom take your cut dip it in whatever stuff you’re using then into the cube.

Then ya take some water put it in the bottom with the cube and squeeze bottom of the top half into that little bit with your cube so as if you’re sticking the plastic bottle back together and then just wait a few days it’s like a mini terrarium works a treat low budget
